The Platform Group AG's Financial Outlook Enhanced by Strategic Acquisitions

First Berlin Equity Research GmbH has reaffirmed its "Buy" recommendation for The Platform Group AG, maintaining its target price at €19. This follows the company's revised growth projections for 2025 and 2026. The Platform Group now anticipates revenues between €715 million and €730 million, an increase from the previous forecast of €680 million to €700 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from €54 million to €58 million.

The upward guidance is attributed to strategic acquisitions and entry into the optician and hearing acoustics sectors. The company plans to enhance its 'MyGlasses' platform's presence in the DACH region and aims to integrate three acquired optician businesses into its 'Optics & Hearing' sector, with this segment projected to contribute over €30 million to 2025 revenue.

Additionally, The Platform Group's recent acquisition of the B2B platform 'We Connect Work GmbH' marks its entry into the construction industry. An updated DCF model has been applied to reflect these developments, confirming the price target and potential for a 137% increase.
